There is no official update yet as far as I know. And I don't bungle his source code.

I think that 13.1 Honey family is now official... Also Windows version is out https://github.com/MichaelB7/Stockfish/ ... s/tag/13.1

No - that's old, a minor upgrade will be released soon , replacing the "Xboard" color there with "Organic" in the Droidfish app.
Everything got delayed due a technical issue and I had to reinstall Windows. No data was lost . but many apps had to be reinstalled, including msys2 and Android Studio.
One good thing about the reinstall, I never had 3 honey engiens busting 120M nps on the bench with NNUE evaluation before ...

Installing the latest version of Armoury Crate from Asus broke Windows. I didn't believe it at first so , so I tried installing it again ( at his point I had nothing else to lose , since I had already reinstalled Windows once and got it back running) and it again prevented Windows from starting , a black screen right after logging in with the pin code to Windows. Reinstalled Windows again, the other less drastic options all failed.

Another plus, I now have the Asus Laptop ( Wifi, but no Ethernet) and the 3970x ( Ethernet , but no Wifi) talking to each other which make it real easy to exchanges files - wifi -> router >ethernet and vica versa , they are sharing a common folder.
Thank you for the explanation. So we will wait next updates (...and they are already on top ranking!) . It's normal to have some issues with a new computer, but be sure, you have a very good one :-)

I had a bug in master branch introduced with https://github.com/Matthies/RubiChess/c ... 42453cd568 resulting in crashes when using tablebases. This bug is fixed now. If your M1 binary is affected, maybe you should compile again.

Hello acepoint,

I see you use Clover 2.1.3, but in the meantime I have released v2.2. Could you upgrade it? :D

Hi RubiChess & Acepoint,

Rubichess 2.2-DEV updated today is imported but doesn't start on BanksiaGui M1 and loses on time. Seer-2.0.1 doesn't start even on terminal (dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/10/libgomp.1.dylib)
